#27 QUICK MEAL: VEG CURRY

Since it's monday again, here's another quick meal for all of you who are busy but still like to enjoy fresh and beautiful food. And not the same thing everyday.

So here's something I came up with the other day when I myself was tired after uni but still wanted something lovely to eat. I wanted something healthy with vegetables and colours and since I love rice I would have rice with anything.

I had this can of coconut milk left in the cupboard and thought that it would be perfect to just make a little curry with all the colourful vegetables I had in the fridge.

I also added a bit of mango I found in there and it made it really fruity and great.

It worked out really well, it was really quick because you can make the curry while cooking the rice and the vegetables don't need that long because you want them a little crunchy anyway.

Lovely Veg Curryfor two

1/2 courgette1/2 onion1/2 red pepper1/4 mangobrokkoli (about the same amount as the other veg)1 small can of coconut milkgaram masala

ricebutter

for it to be a quick meal you'll want to make the ricefirst. so heat a bit of butter in a pan and usea mug to measure your rice.once the butter is melted, add the rice and stir it.fill the mug with warm water (twice) and addthe water to the rice.lower the temperature to the lowest you canand leave it for about 10-20 minutes (depends on the rice)

to start with the curry, simply chop all the vegand the mango into whatever size pieces you like(wouldn't make it them too small though).in a pan heat up some coconut fat or whateveryou like to use and stir fry the veg for about 2 minutesover high heat.add the garam masala and stir fry for a few moreseconds.then add the coconut milk (and if you wantyou can add some veg stock aswell)and lower the heat and leave it to simmeruntil the rice is done.
